Water JET - Half Life 2 Logo

[kingthebadger]

This video is captured from the computer screen, and shows making of the Half Life 2 (video game) logo in CAD software, then creating a tool path, loading it into the controller, and starting the cutting process. It's approximately 14 minutes long, and should give you a general overview of the steps involved in going from idea to part.

Did you do that?

Thats pretty nifty. I had a CAD/drafting class in highschool but the software that we used was no where near that quality. In fact, the teacher had us play Roller Coaster Tycoon most of the time designing theme parks.

Now that was so cool. I just sat and watched the whole video. I really wish you could show us the actual cutting part. You have a bright and lucrative career in CAD.

I was confused for a second when he said "I was excited when half-life 2 came out this summer...".

Then I realized he's in New Zealand. Crazy Southern Hemisphere.
